The Christmasaurus returns in the magical new adventure from number-one-bestselling author Tom Fletcher!

Have you ever heard of Ebenezer Scrooge? The grumpy, miserable man from that very famous old book, who HATES Christmas? The man who is more BAH HUMBUG than HO HO HO?

Well, what if I told you that he was about to step out of HIS story and into this one? I know!!! And even worse, he wants to CANCEL CHRISTMAS!

But don't panic - William Trundle and his very best friend, the Christmasaurus, are on the case. They're determined to track down Scrooge and stop him from ruining the most magical day of the year. And they're not alone. The whole Trundle family, new friends Eddie and Lucy and, of course, Santa himself are here to help!

Can these festive friends stop Scrooge before it's too late - and save Christmas?
